How to convert between cash currencies

Cash currencies are directly interchangeable on Kraken for clients based outside of the United States.

However, you can trade your cash currency for a common cryptocurrency (like BTC, ETH or MATIC) and then trade that cryptocurrency for a different cash currency.

Note:

All trades in a cash-to-crypto-to-cash transaction will be charged trading fees on every step of the way.
The exchange rate of going from cash-to-crypto-to-cash will depend on the liquidity and activity of each trading pair at the time and might not match exchange rates seen on FOREX markets.

Tip: generally, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are the most liquid cryptocurrencies.
